Things You Never Noticed VI: The Undiscovered Detail

[Mad Humanist]

Well maybe she'll get a scolding later, but there's probably some bigger issues at work at the moment. x3

It was literally Hel's Evil Gloating speech. She thought they had mere moments to live.

[Rogar Demonblud]

Yeah, that's on a level of telling someone a secret just before you kill them. Very close to no harm no foul, as long as they end up dead.

[Kish]

More to the point, I think, the rule forbids talking about the entity with any mortals who don't already know. Hel was talking to the other gods and--like every god there, good and evil--not worrying about the presence of some mortals, who are close to irrelevant in the gods' views.

Sure, that's a loophole if the purpose of the rule is to bar mortals from gaining information about the Snarl, but from Thor's casual "I can tell you all about it if Durkon mentioned the existence of a Snarl in front of you" attitude, this doesn't seem to be a rule the gods are much concerned with upholding the spirit of.

If, indeed, they have any rules they're concerned with upholding the spirit of, instead of just rules where their divine adversaries have made the letter so exhaustive that they can't find a way to get around it.

In this comic,, there are actually two ways to spell "Loki sucks" using the letters, and Rich chose the less intuitive way.

Lord Thor
King of Storms and Thunder
Champion of Killing Trees

Is used in the comic, as opposed to

Lord Thor
King of Storms and Thunder
Champion of Killing Trees

When healing Felix here, Elan accidentally stabs him in the chest with Banjo's scalpel. Also, Banjo has a tiny scalpel.

[martianmister]

Thanks to the thread "What is the single most representative page or panel from OotS to you?"

One of the orcs is a spellcaster.

Belkar, Enor and Gannji has experience with eating human hearts.

Yeah... I don't think that was accidental...

It makes sense when you think about it besides just "well orcs aren't THAT stupid so they might have a primitive-ish caster or two"; said orc has a long, white beard and therefore probably has considerably better than average mental stats due to age bonuses.

Only one core spellcasting class is fueled by Int.

Don't Wis and Cha go up with age too?

[Fyraltari]

Don't Wis and Cha go up with age too?

So becoming senile not only betters your sight and earing but your intelligence and physical features as well?

I was more referring to "orcs aren't THAT stupid so they might have a primitive caster" bit.

[hamishspence]

Yup. And orcs have poor stats in all 3 - Int, Wis, and Cha.

So, regardless of which class that spellcasting orc is, him being old, boosts his ability in it.

For the purposes of that statement, "stupid" meant "poor mental stats" in general. As for "primitive", I was thinking probably Sorcerer or maybe Druid, though since that's the only panel that orc was in I guess we'll never know.

There's a relevant SMBC, but I like you so I'll spare you.

Faur point. My bad.

Oh, I always love em, but without knowing others' feelings on it I default to "let me not show the incredibly detailed wrinkly naked person saying" so beautiful" in a raspy, wet voice."

Also laziness in not trying to find it. Dude puts out a comic every day, that archive is massive!

I'd bet either Sorcerer or something like Warlock.

[Borris]

It could also be an adept NPC.

[Rogar Demonblud]

Or a beguiler, or a truenamer, or an incarnum-user-who's-label-I-forget.

3E had too many caster classes.

#1141: Thor: "And if you knew how many times Njord has changed his mind ten minutes after we finished, you'd know that'd never work."

That's fitting for a god of sea.

In 338 V says “One’s family must be defended when the need arises.” Later, around 632... Soul Splice to defend their family.

I just got that that's probably meant as a Hitchhiker's Guide refferance.

Oh, really? Didn't know that...

Yeah. Slartibartfast goes on about the coastlines that he designed for Earth.

He just wasn't shore about which one he would use.
